In the lesson, students work in groups, presenting various cases to the class in the form of a press conference.

With everyday events like lessons and meetings we can use in or at.

We use �in � when we treat the lesson as a period of time. In this case �in � can often be substituted for �during �.

So...
What did we talk about IN the lesson.
The children behaved badly in their lesson today.
We can �t use our phones in our lessons.
I can �t talk because I �m in (the middle of) a lesson. 

We use �at � when we treat the lesson as a place. 

So...
How many people were at the lesson?
I won �t be at home because I will be at my English lesson.
HOWEVER

With events that don �t happen regularly this doesn �t apply. So you can never say �in the party, in the conference, in the football match, in the press conference �. In all these cases you have to use AT.

It �s tricky, but I hope that helps :)
